Expert Review Impressive performance from a solid optic - SIG SAUER OPMOD ROMEO7 1x30mm 2 MOA Reflex Red Dot Sight

My first impression of this optic was the impressive zero it had right out of the box. I had ½” groupings at 25 yards without making any adjustments. When I was ready to start making adjustments, I did run into some challenges with removing the caps on the windage and elevation knobs. They have retaining straps attached to the caps which make them somewhat challenging to remove quickly for someone with large hands. This wasn’t a significant issue as red dot adjustments should be uncommon once you have it zeroed. Once the caps were off, adjustments were simple with defined clicks with each turn. It came with a QD mount as well as a fixed low-rise mount which makes it versatile to use on several different rifles. I typically prefer holographic sights over these tube style optics, but the glass and eye relief were both impressive and allowed for quick and easy target acquisition. One often overlooked feature, but one that is significant is that it takes a single AA battery. Every other optic I own requires some form of CR battery which are not always easy to find and expensive to stock up on. This and the fact that the battery can be changed without removing the optic from the rifle are big wins for me. If firearm aesthetics is important to you, the FDE finish is close to an exact match with the Magpul FDE finish. Overall, this optic has many of the features you would expect from a red dot in a much higher price range, and I highly recommend it.
